Well, Clyde, I think it's too close to call. I mean, if we don't pick a side, we're being wishy-washy, right? Readers want deliberate statements. They want to […]

The US Open Cup is once again upon us and as an annual rite of passage articles are being written on how to fix the tournament to make it more relevant. One suggestion I wholeheartedly embrace is to have a draw for who hosts a game not a bidding process. MLS sides have won each […]

It is one of England’s most famous matches. More is known about epic World Cup clashes with West Germany and Argentina, but England’s defeat by the United States in the 1950 World Cup is regarded as the biggest football upset of all time. England’s 6-3 defeat by Hungary three years later was more significant in […]
